"What are you doing?" Xuan Ye said as he walked around the corridor towards her. Before Lan Qi could put on her shoes and socks, the emperor had already arrived. She bent her knees to salute, but was picked up and hugged directly.
When he returned to the house, he told Yukui: "Go get hot water and clean shoes and socks."
Lan Qi was carried back to the house and placed on the kang. She thought she was going to have to be scolded, but Xuan Ye just patted her on the head and scolded her slightly: "It's nonsense again." After that, he asked Yu Kui and others to wash her feet.
To keep warm, I turned around and walked around the house, picking up books from the shelf and reading them.
Lan Qi sat with her feet washed and warmed, leaning out to take a look from time to time, but Xuan Ye just browsed the books she put on the shelf comfortably. Lan Qi whispered to Yu Kui: "Fortunately, I put the book back, otherwise
When the emperor saw that all the books were gone, he must have a lot to say about me."
But Yu Kui complained softly: "Your appearance just now was seen by the emperor. My servant and Xiangyue must be punished by Sister Huanchun again. Master, you have tricked us again."
"I won't let her punish you. I'll just ask the emperor not to say no." Lan Qi touched Yu Kui's head seriously. Xuan Ye turned around and saw her, and saw that she looked calm.
He looked funny and angry. He put down the book and came over. Lan Qi had already put on her shoes and socks. She wanted to invite Xuan Ye to sit down so she could make tea, but the emperor ordered Yu Kui: "Take your master's money."
Here comes the cloak hood and armholes."
Hearing that he was taking these clothes, Lan Qi knew that he was going out. He smiled and asked if he was going to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager. Xuan Ye smiled and said nothing, waiting for Yu Kui and Xiang Yue to dress up their master.
Only a happy face showed up and down. He was pinched gently by Xuan Ye. He also put on his cloak and led Lan Qi outside.
Another warm sedan was prepared outside for Lan Qi to sit in, and he ordered her to get up. People kept asking where they were going, but Xuan Ye just smiled: "You'll know when you get there."
"As for what happened just now, Your Majesty..."
"If you don't get on the sedan, I will really have to settle a score with you." Xuan Ye casually threatened her, and she quickly got into the sedan and left. Xuan Ye also climbed up the sedan, and the group walked south. Yu Kui
He and Xiangyue didn't let him follow him, and stood in front of the door to see him off. He waited until the holy driver was far away before he breathed a sigh of relief. Xiangyue muttered: "Where is your master going, your Majesty?"
The sedan was moving along here, and Lan Qi occasionally raised the curtain to look. The road was not going to Cining Palace. She had been in the palace for some years, but she always went to the same places every day. She was not allowed and had no time in the palace.
Wandering around, it is easy to get lost because of nature. Now I am sitting on the sedan chair looking outside, and I can't guess where I am going.
After walking for a long time, she opened the curtain again and saw that she was near the Qianqing Palace. She was wondering why the emperor came to pick her up in person, but the sedan turned around and did not go to the Qianqing Palace. When she looked again, she had already left.
Qianqingmen, and then she couldn't help but ask the little eunuch accompanying her. The little eunuch told her that she was walking through the Baohe Hall. Lan Qi asked where she was going, but the little eunuch said she didn't know and just followed the emperor.
Finally, when the warm sedan was ready, a young eunuch came to help her get out of the sedan. Xuan Ye had already gotten off. He walked over slowly and took her hand. Xuan Ye's hand was warm and strong, but Lan Qi was sitting tightly even though she was wrapped tightly.
When the warm sedan came over, the hand that I thought was warm still seemed cold in his palm. When I saw the emperor leading me forward, I naturally asked: "Your Majesty, further forward is the Hall of Supreme Harmony. I, my concubine, are not doing well...
"
Xuan Ye turned around and smiled at her, just pulling her step by step. The road here had obviously been cleaned, but it was inevitable that there would be thin ice on the road. Lan Qi walked cautiously, but she still wandered behind Xuan Ye from time to time. The emperor couldn't bear it.
He kept saying: "You are indeed the most practical when walking barefoot."
The young nobleman laughed and said, "That won't work. The emperor won't be able to part with it if it's frozen."
"Huh? You know that too?" Xuan Ye scolded, "Then what did you do just now? Step on the snow with bare feet and risk your life?"
"I won't dare to do it next time. Don't be angry." Lan Qi begged softly, but the emperor was speechless. He pulled her forward until he was under the white marble seat of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. He turned around and stood in front of her.
He said with a deep smile, "I asked them to save the snow for two days without clearing it."
Lan Qi was puzzled. The emperor turned around and pushed her forward gently. He saw a vast and boundless white snow. The vast and majestic square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony was covered with thick snow. It was clean and white, not even a single footprint.
nothing.
At the back, the little eunuch brought snow boots for the emperor and nobles to put on respectively. Xuan Ye took her hand and started to walk forward, "Come with me to the top of the Dan Emperor, be careful."
"Your Majesty, isn't it good for my concubine to come to the Hall of Supreme Harmony?" Lan Qi knew the loftiness and majesty of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. During every grand ceremony, Xuan Ye would ascend the throne in this palace and accept the worship of the princes, ministers and officials.
The mountain's cry of "Long Live the Mountain" shook the heaven and earth. In such an important and precious place, ordinary concubines cannot just come here.
"It's just a palace. I just want to show you the snow scenery." Xuan Ye walked forward without looking back. The snow was very deep, almost knee-deep. Xuan Ye was okay, but Lan Qi was among the concubines.
She looked slim and slender, even smaller than the emperor. The snow had already reached her knees. It would have been fine if she could walk faster like Xuan Ye, but she walked too slowly. Before she even lifted her foot to take the next step, her whole leg almost sank to the bottom.
Already.
Xuan Ye was walking in front when he suddenly heard a muffled sound, and the palace maids and eunuchs standing behind him also screamed in surprise. He turned around and saw Lan Qi, who was wrapped in a cloak and a hood, falling into the snow, her body completely intact.
Trapped in the white snow and the hood of his cloak, he couldn't even see his face, and his hands were shaking wildly in the sky. He looked embarrassed and cute, and Xuan Ye couldn't help but laugh.
"Your Majesty..." Lan Qi didn't have the time to smile. She struggled to climb out of the snow, but the snow was soft. The more she struggled, the deeper she sank. Finally, she felt a strong force pulling her up. Before she could stand still,
, was already hugged by Xuan Ye, and then walked forward steadily step by step. Even if there was an extra person on his body, Xuan Ye walked steadily and easily. Lan Qi looked at him in a daze, and gradually her heart beat wildly.
, happy and moved, wishing that time could stop at this moment and let her be greedy for a while.
Finally reaching the bottom of the stone steps, Xuan Ye put Lan Qi down and asked her if she could leave by herself. However, he saw the little man squatting down and patting the remaining snow on his body vigorously, for fear that the snow would melt and soak his clothes and freeze him.
, it took a long time to stand up, Xuan Ye smiled warmly, Lan Qi's face that was red from the cold also had a flowery smile, Xuan Ye looked at her blankly, remembering that she said that it snowed that year, and he accidentally saved her
When I mentioned it, I didn’t have much memory, but at this moment, the scene in the wind and snow that day came to mind.
God actually arranged for them to meet again and again. Thanks to his blessing, he did not let him miss the most beautiful person.
We’ve reached the top.”
"Yes." Lan Qi nodded seriously, then carefully looked at the road, followed the emperor not far away, and walked where she should go. The stone steps of the Hall of Supreme Harmony also had rules. Even if she couldn't come here these years,
, also learned from Grandma Sumala.
Finally reaching the top, Lan Qi was panting from exhaustion, but Xuan Ye was calm and composed. He laughed at her for being useless. He pointed to the front and said, "Look, compared to the ones in the courtyard of Zhongcui Palace, this is called a snow scene."
?”
The world of golden roofs and red walls is covered with white snow, showing a fierce momentum in its majesty. Above the Danbi, the sundial, Jialiang, Bronze Turtle, Bronze Crane, etc. are also covered with white snow. They stand still in the cold wind, which is the most beautiful place in the world.
The prosperity and prosperity of the Qing Dynasty extended continuously, which shocked people's heart and soul.
Lan Qi had looked up at the imperial city outside the Forbidden City when she was a child. At that time, she knew that one day she would serve as a palace maid to serve the Lord. She also knew that the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the imperial city was majestic and majestic, but she never thought that one day she would be with
The emperor stood here side by side. While feeling excited, he suddenly became alert and left Xuan Ye's side slightly. How could she, a little noble person, stand here side by side with the emperor? The position next to the emperor belongs to the queen.
Xuan Ye saw her like this and knew what she was being cautious about. He was a little unhappy, but thinking that Lan Qi was so self-respecting, he should have been happy. The imperial grandmother had always emphasized how he should protect this woman by his side for a long time.
Sure enough, in my grandmother's eyes, she is very understanding of dignity, knows what to do and what not to do, and she is the one who is easily emotional and impulsive.
"Would you like to go and take a look at the back?" Xuan Ye just pretended not to notice Lan Qi's small movement, stretched out his hand to pull her back, overlooking the snowy scenery of the imperial city from everywhere, and the numerous palaces and pavilions in the back, making it look even more golden in the snow.
Lan Qi pointed to a place of wealth and grace with red walls and said excitedly: "The Zhongcui Palace should be there, but the imperial city is so big that it can no longer be seen clearly from here."
Xuan Ye listened to her chattering excitedly and did not lead her to the place where they had just stood side by side. He then retreated from the Hall of Supreme Harmony and sat in a warm sedan chair all the way back to the Qianqing Palace.
The snow was so deep that his clothes got wet after all. He warmed himself by the fire and changed his clothes in two places. When the warm little nobleman ran back to the emperor, his cheeks that were red from the cold were no longer there, and his face was warmed with a beautiful blush, and his body was warm.
It's warm and fragrant, and I can't help but want people to get close to it.
It was just that after it was frozen and then put on the fire, Lan Qi felt dizzy and sleepy not long after sitting. She was playing a game of chess with the emperor, but she couldn't put the chess pieces down in her hands for a long time.
Holding her in my arms, she fell asleep not long after.
The peaceful and gentle breathing in the dream was filled with the fragrance of her body. Xuan Ye gently placed her on the kang, slightly unbuttoned her collar, kissed her soft and warm neck, and fell asleep soundly.
There was no response from the person. Xuan Ye smiled helplessly, turned around and took a thick blanket to cover her body. He also put a corner on his waist and slept with her. And he could only do it during these days of sealing.
It was so leisurely and comfortable that I spent the first few days with the queen. I missed her for a long time.
It was peaceful and warm inside the Nuan Pavilion. Eunuch Li led the maids and eunuchs to guard outside, not daring to make any noise to disturb him. Soon he saw his young apprentice running towards him in a hurry. Eunuch Li went up to him and kicked him, "What are you doing?"
But the young apprentice said awkwardly: "Concubine Tong is outside, saying she wants to see the emperor."
Eunuch Li frowned, waved Fuchen impatiently and walked outside. As expected, he saw the warm sedan of Chengqian Palace parked outside the door. Concubine Tong stood by the door and looked at another sedan. She turned around and saw Manager Li coming out and sneered: "
Whoever is inside can't tell who is from the palace in this sedan chair."
Eunuch Li knew that talking nonsense would only cause trouble. Frankly speaking, he was a noble man and said that the emperor had sent someone to pick him up. He was taking a nap at the moment.
Concubine Tong raised her long eyebrows and smiled: "It's really not easy for her to sleep in broad daylight. I heard that the first time she sleeps is in the daytime. Virtuous and noble people are really different. We, like Puliu, are really incompetent."
It’s time to compete. Take a break, take a break, I’ll go talk to the Queen.”
She turned around and left proudly, no longer sitting in the sedan, and walked directly back to Kunning Palace. Eunuch Li saw her off respectfully in front of the door. He was relieved when she was far away, but then he thought about it and sent his trusted apprentice.
, "Follow quietly and have a look and listen to what they have to say."
In this compartment, Concubine Wen is leading the prince to play in the palace of Kunning Palace. Concubine Wen is still young and can mingle with the child more easily. The queen is sitting cross-legged on the heated kang, sewing a small jacket for the prince to wear in the first month of the year.
The prince has been here for only half a month, and he is already very close to her. She still remembers the time when her eldest brother brought her to the Chengqian Palace to cry, and she was always worried that the prince would be uncomfortable when he came, but Xuan Ye stayed with her in person for several days.
And the prince didn't have a mother-in-law to begin with, so it was easy to get to know him. The child without a mother-in-law was really pitiful. Seeing his temperament gradually change from dull to lively, the screams of the prince's mother-in-law made people feel soft.
"Your Majesty, I'm hungry." The prince played for a long time, climbed up on the warm bed and crawled into the queen's arms. The queen was full of love and affection, and the maids quickly brought some fruits to them, while Concubine Wen brought hot water.
The Queen washed his hands herself, and then let him lie down on the Kang table and grab some snacks to eat.
She discussed this matter with Xuan Ye and agreed to wait until the prince turns four years old next year before starting to teach him the rules. During these days, he should let out the nature that a child should have, and wait until he is presented to the Queen Mother during the Chinese New Year.
So that my great-grandmother would be impressed.
The queen was originally looking forward to her sister giving birth to a child, and she once disdained the idea of adopting the prince, but when Xuan Ye actually gave it to her, her heart softened. Women who have never given birth will also have natural motherhood. Since the prince entered the house,
Her whole heart was focused on the prince, and she was gradually willing to let go of matters in the palace to concubines Hui and Rong. Even though her body was still being maintained, she only spent time with her child in Kunning Palace every day.
I was having a great time as ever.
"The emperor will eat it too." The prince's oily hands grabbed a piece of saqima and stuffed it into the queen's mouth. The queen took a small bite and kissed the prince. The little guy was so happy that he got up and handed it to Concubine Wen.
, shouting, "Ms. Wen will eat it too."
The queen patted his butt and asked, "Prince, please ask Empress Wen to give you a little brother. Will you have a little brother to play with you in Kunning Palace from now on?"
The little guy responded loudly. Concubine Wen's face turned red with embarrassment. She turned around and went out to call someone to make tea. However, she saw Dongyun come in and said with a bad look on her face: "Your Majesty, Concubine Tong is here."
